8SLVD1204NLGI8

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 is a high-performance low-voltage differential signaling (LVDS) clock buffer from the 8SLVD1xx family of general-purpose clock devices from Texas Instruments. This family of devices provides clock distribution, translation and fanout solutions for high-speed applications. The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 provides differential signal conditioning with low-jitter, even at high input frequencies.

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 can be used to fanout clock or data signals for various applications. It can provide jitter reduction and isolation, as well as an increase in signal strength. The device is designed to buffer and drive high-speed, low-power and low-voltage differential data signals, such as those generated and detected by LVDS transceivers. It offers a multichannel, low-voltage signal-conditioning solution for systems with multiple, independent clock domains. This device provides a fast signal switching response and an output that is phase-matched to the input signal, ensuring low jitter, phase skew and phase noise.

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 operates over a voltage range of 0.7V to 3.3V and offers a typical propagation delay of 2.6ns. The device is capable of driving up to four LVDS outputs and is available in 1.27mm x 1.27mm 8L-VFND packages, making it suitable for high-density requirements. The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 also features an adjustable output drive strength and a selectable output status mode, which allows the user to configure the device to maintain an output state when it is disabled.

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 can be used in multiple applications such as displays, data communications and networking, automotive, and industrial. In the automotive market, it can be used for in-vehicle infotainment systems, navigation systems, and vehicle diagnostics. In the industrial market, it can be used for control systems, motor drives, and motor controls. It can also be used in other applications that require low-voltage differential signaling, such as HDMI connections and optical networking equipment.

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 works by buffering and driving differential data signals, such as LVDS signals, over short distances. It receives an input signal and divides it into four identical signals with the same characteristics (amplitude, width, and waveform) as the input signal. The device outputs these signals onto its four LVDSoutputs at up to speeds of 4.20GHz. Each of the four LVDS outputs is capable of driving a load of up to 50mA at up to 3Vpp.

The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 increases signal integrity by providing low jitter, even at high frequencies, and is capable of providing an isolation threshold up to 2.5V. It also features a power down mode, which can reduce the power consumption when the device is not in use. The 8SLVD1204NLGI8 is designed for high-speed, low-power and low-voltage differential data signal interfacing, and is ideal for clock distribution, translation and fanout solutions for communications and industrial applications.
